ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words) This report describes the work performed during Phase IV compliance testing of light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures used as locomotive headlights and auxiliary lights. The purpose was to study the performance of the lamps under severe cold weather conditions. Researchers sought to determine whether LED lamps could melt a 1/4-inch-thick layer of ice from a lens surface and whether the lamps would accumulate a coating of snow and ice when operated in the presence of very cold, windblown snow. Throughout the testing, halogen lamps, currently standard equipment on freight locomotives, were used as a performance benchmark. 14. SUBJECT TERMS 15.

  • Delamping in Most of Our Classroom Light Fixtures, There Are One to Four Individual Fluorescent Lamps
    Delamping In most of our classroom light fixtures, there are one to four individual fluorescent lamps. Depending on the types of fixtures, you can remove one of the lamps while keeping the others in. Which one to take out simply depends on which appears best to you. On the newer, skinnier (T-8) lamps, the manufacturer recommends that no more than one lamp be removed from the fixture. Delamping is a simple way to reduce foot-candles of light intensity in an area. In the lighting industry, foot-candles are a common unit of measurement used to calculate adequate lighting levels of workspaces in buildings or outdoor spaces. Of course, you can also remove all the lamps in a fixture if the light is not needed at all. Some overhead light fixtures are also emergency lights that will stay on when the building loses power. The emergency light fixtures should not be deplamped. Delamping should done by qualified staff only. Keep in mind these rules for delamping: Do not compromise health, safety, or security. Do not take lamps out of new fixtures that are still covered under warranty. Do consider the needs of the building occupants. With T-8 systems, do not remove more than one lamp per fixture. Maintain recommended minimum light levels. Refer to the chart on the next page. Where would you delamp a light fixture? Delamping is possible anywhere there is a fluorescent light fixture above an area that is not being used for active reading and writing or in areas where there is more light than needed.

  • Lighting Dictionary
    lighting dictionary the got light survival guide © got light. | 415-863-4300 | www.got-light.com lighting dictionary Below is a quick list of most commonly used technical terminology in lighting. Use and abuse this list to help navigate your way through the design process. Not enough new vocabulary for one sitting? Let us know how we can help! COPPER HOOKS A great solution for exterior pathway illumination. Copper Hooks come in six or eight foot heights, on rustic copper bases or ground stakes, that add light, as well as a decorative element. Illuminated lanterns or rustic pacific globes are paired with the hooks to surround a dining area, illuminate a lawn, driveway, or patio area. COVER, SHIELD, WRAP A cover is a Got Light must! A cover or shield is simply a three-sided masking tool to hide an uplight (and wires) so you don’t see the ugly equipment that makes a beautiful room come alive. Covers come in varying or custom colors to blend into the venue walls or architecture. A “wrap” is no different, except it’s made of custom velvet and surrounds a lighting TREE or pole to help disguise and hide the equipment that makes the magic happen. DAPPLE Dapple is a term used for “soft textured light”, created by using a GOBO in a light fixture to create shadow and texture. Dapple is commonly used when you don’t want a stylized gobo or motif and the end goal is soft diffusion. Often “dappled” light looks like subtle, natural soft light through leaves or branches, for a more organic design.

  • Light-Emitting Diode - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Light-emitting diode - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A light-emitting diode (LED) (pronounced /ˌɛl iː ˈdiː/[1]) is a semiconductor Light-emitting diode light source. LEDs are used as indicator lamps in many devices, and are increasingly used for lighting. Introduced as a practical electronic component in 1962,[2] early LEDs emitted low-intensity red light, but modern versions are available across the visible, ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, with very high brightness. When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy gap of Red, green and blue LEDs of the 5mm type 2 the semiconductor. An LED is usually small in area (less than 1 mm ), and Type Passive, optoelectronic integrated optical components are used to shape its radiation pattern and assist in reflection.[3] LEDs present many advantages over incandescent light sources Working principle Electroluminescence including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, Invented Nick Holonyak Jr. (1962) smaller size, faster switching, and greater durability and reliability. LEDs powerful enough for room lighting are relatively expensive and require more Electronic symbol precise current and heat management than compact fluorescent lamp sources of comparable output. Pin configuration Anode and Cathode Light-emitting diodes are used in applications as diverse as replacements for aviation lighting, automotive lighting (particularly indicators) and in traffic signals.

  • Study of Museum Lighting and Design
    STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN Approved: ____________________________ Dr. Heather C. Galloway Director, University Honors Program Approved: ____________________________ Dr. Hegde Department of Family Consumer Science Supervising Professor STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN HONORS THESIS Presented to the Honors Committee of Texas State University-San Marcos In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For Graduation in the University Honors Program By Elizabeth Gay Hunt San Marcos, Texas May 2009 STUDY OF MUSEUM LIGHTING AND DESIGN ABSTRACT A museum is a place to discover, explore and learn about the past, present and future of creativity, as well as history. Lighting plays a significant role in developing interaction between humans and museum artifacts in one defined space. " Museums are places where lighting design is critical to the overall experience”(Lowe,43, 2009). Lighting is essential for human interaction in a space. Technical illumination research lays a foundation to conduct analysis in a variety of museums. This research component is significant to understand the complexity and various facets of overall museum lighting design. This study evaluates both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of lighting design in four museums. Psychological, physiological and experiential components are observed in these museums’ environments to analyze lighting design within its exhibits. My observations and knowledge gained by studying these museums help influence and enhance the design of the Cedar Hill Museum of History. 3 DEDICATION This Honor Thesis is dedicated in memory of my mother, Carolyn T. Hunt. She instilled in me the idea that we live a short time on Earth. She often said, “We are given talents that we must give back to the community and help others.” The Cedar Hill Museum of History lighting design is a reflection of how she contributed to the community of Cedar Hill and helped mold the community into what is today.

  • Are Those Inexpensive Incandescent Black Lights Any Good?
    HauntMaven.com - Wolfstone's Haunted Halloween Site http://wolfstone.halloweenhost.com/Lighting/bltgen_BlackLightGeneration.html Generating and Projecting Black Light You wouldn't think that there is so much to say about black light lamps. But we decided that the subject deserves a page of its own. So, where can I get cheap black lights? When the psychedelic era sputtered and died out, it took Lava Lamps and fuzzy black light posters with it. There is enough of a retro movement that these things can still be found ‐ retro lives at Spencer Gifts. Better still, many stores offer black lights when Halloween rolls around. The best black light for all-around haunt use is a fluorescent black light. These resemble the regular white fluorescent lights, found in offices and stores, except that they use a special lamp that emits black light. The lamps used for black light effects have several modifications from the standard white fluorescent Obtained lamps: from • there is usually Omarshauntedtrail.commore mercury, for enhanced UV generation • the phosphors are designed to convert short wave UV into long wave UV • the glass envelope is made from a purple filter glass, which prevents the emission of visible light Such fluorescent black light fixtures, complete with lamp, ready to turn on, are available at Spencer Gifts and other stores. These small fluorescent units are intended to light up posters and other decorations. They work fine on spooky stuff, too. You can make your own black light setup with a shop-light fluorescent fixture and pair of 4-foor black light lamps from Home Depot - total cost around $30, and it puts out much more light than units intended for posters.

  • Lighting Design Concept and Development of Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind
    Lighting Design Concept and Development of Spring Awakening By Frank Wedekind A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Fine Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alex Kyle-DiPietropaolo Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2011 Thesis Committee: Professor Mary Tarantino, Advisor Assistant Professor Jimmy Bohr Assistant Professor Janet Parrott Copyright by Alex Kyle-DiPietropaolo 2011 Abstract This thesis documents the design process for the production Spring Awakening by Frank Wedekind, as translated by Jonathan Franzen. The show was produced in The Ohio State University‟s Thurber Theatre from February 24th through March 13th, 2011. The design concepts for the production were developed as informed by an adolescent‟s perspective on the world, and the representation of that viewpoint through lighting design. Modern theatre techniques were employed to address issues raised in the play. One such modern technique was the use of live video to reinforce the emotional impact in key scenes, which required researching lighting design for the medium of film, and how to adapt it to the stage. Working within these design ideas, color and the positions of instruments were used to develop a hyper-reality where the adolescents‟ emotions and feelings are echoed in the world around them. ii Dedication This document is dedicated to those people who never let me get away with mediocrity. iii Acknowledgments First, I would like to acknowledge my parents. They accepted my floating through reality after reality, and only momentarily balked at my choice to make a career in theatre.
